Windows 10: Is it possible to open the volume mixer instead of volume control

Hello, Ten Forums!

I was wondering whether it were possible to open the volume mixer instead of the volume control when left-clicking on the volume icon in the tray. At the moment I have it set to open the old classic menu, but not the volume mixer.

So, is it possible?

Thanks.

Volume icon missing after update 1/15/16 windows 10

This does not help with the volume mixer or volume control because this is not shown in the apps/controls it is possible to turn on or off. What do I do now?

 

Sound sources not showing up in volume mixer / app volume controls setting main volume

Hi,

I have noticed strange sound issues with Windows 10 and entries in the volume mixer.

For example, if I use the netflix app, there is no source added to the volume mixer for it. Instead, the Netflix app's volume control merely controls the level of the main sound device, so that if I turn the volume of netflix down, ALL sounds on the computer
get attenuated as well. Definitely not acceptable.

Using Edge to run sites like Netflix that produce sound results in the same situation: Edge is not showing up in the volume mixer, and in-web-page-app volume controls either control the main sound device volume or their own sound, but never show up in the
volume mixer.

Apps like Groove Music, however, while they don't show entries in the volume mixer, at least have their own volume control separate from that for the main sound device.

What am I missing? I haven't changed any sound settings other than sometimes switching the source from speakers to headphones and back.

Whether the main playback device is set to "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" or not has NO effect on this situation.

Thanks!

 

All i see is right clicking to do this. What do you mean by classic menu ?

 

This:

 

Yeah, i knew what it was, but right clicking volume icon only way i know to bring it up, not by left clicking it. Normal way, yes.

 

@QwertySpace:

You could create a shortcut from within GodMode. Just a thought.

 

GodMode ? Software ? Assuming no other way in windows that i can see.

 

Do you mean create a shortcut to the desktop? I can do that without GodMode.

 

Truthfully why do you want the mixer so easily accessed since only raising volume and muting it, as i see it with yours only one item ?
What sound device, integrated ?

 

I don't understand the question.
The picture I sent was not volume mixer, that was volume control.

 

Look at Edwin's picture, then look at mine this is Volume mixer from right clicking the volume icon. This is what you mean ?

 

Can pin it to the taskbar for easy access, when volume mixer is open it will be on the taskbar, right click it on taskbar select pin to taskbar.Can do that.

 

Yes, that is the volume mixer I mean. I guess it's not possible to have that button open volume mixer then straight away then.

 

Not that i can see unless using third party app like posted by Edwin or pin it to the taskbar. What about your sound device, what do you have realtek ?
